The Causes of Drug Abuse

People are under the misconception that there are millions of causes of drug abuse, but let me tell you that from my own experiences in the drug world, that all of these causes can easily be brought back to a basic foundation which covers them all in a far simpler way, a way which if used correctly will be able to help many people recover from addiction.

I actually find it quite scary when I look at all of the causes for drug abuse which get listed, the reason for this is that for a very large part of my life I too was an addict and believe me I blamed everyone and everything for my addiction problems, it was as simple as that, the world and everything within it was to blame for my condition.

Now, I ask you, is this not very typical of every aspect of our modern society? We will look for every reason under the sun to heap our misfortune onto the shoulders of others. Whether it be when it comes to the causes of drug addiction, our financial situation or whatever the situation at hand may be, it is simply never our own fault.

It is this lack of responsibility, our willingness to entrust our own future into the hands of others, the ‘experts and gurus’ which in my opinion is one of the main causes of drug abuse and many other areas of discomfort in our lives. It is only when you are able to face and challenge your inner self that you once again understand the true meaning of responsibility and how it can help you to overcome the problems which might seem incredibly huge.

I know for a fact that it was only when I hit an absolute cross road in my own life that the causes of drug abuse, my own addiction, made themselves apparent. Had I chosen to shirk the responsibility which I needed in order to get clean and stay clean at that stage, my life would surely have ended in disaster.

Everyone is so busy looking for the best therapist, the best rehab program or the best doctors in order to beat their addiction, well let me as a recovering junkie tell you that in order to overcome the causes of drug abuse, we are all more than well enough equipped with the inner strength and energy to beat our addictions from within without needing all of these expensive treatments.

I entered only one institution, not even a real rehab, more of a stabilization center and from that day on I was able to leave over a decade of drug abuse and addiction behind me and it is now 10 years down the line and I am still clean. So if you are looking for causes of drug abuse, rather begin to make peace with your inner self, herein lays the answer to all of these ’causes’.
